Текст песни Mean Street - Van Halen

At night I walk this stinkin' street past the crazys on my block
And I see the same old faces and I hear that same old talk
And I'm searching for the latest thing a break in this routine
I'm talkin' some new kicks ones like you ain't never seen

This is home
Well this is Mean Street
It's our home
The only one I know

And we don't worry 'bout tomorrow
'Cause we're sick of these four walls
Now what you think is nothin' might be somethin' after all
Now you know this ain't no through street the end is dead ahead
The poor folks play for keeps down here they're the living dead

Come on down huh
Down to Mean Street
They're dancin' now Lord
Out on Mean Street
Dance baby

It's always here and now my friend it ain't once upon a time
It's all over but the shouting I come I take what's mine
We're searching for the latest thing a break in this routine
Talkin' some new kicks ones like you ain't never seen

This is home
Mmm this is Mean Street
It's our home
Only one I know

(This is home) See a gun is real easy
(This is Mean Street) In this desperate part of town
(This is home) Turns you from hunted into hunter (yeah)
(This is Mean Street) You go an' hunt somebody down wait a minute ah

(This is home) Somebody said fair warning
Lord (This is Mean Street) Lord strike that poor boy down
